The sacred without world – Act III by Vir Andres Hera 

In the context of Listening All Night to the Rain by John Akomfrah, Vir Andres Hera presents a nocturnal performance that interweaves oceanic sounds, seismic vibrations, voices, and sound loops to weave a polyphonic narrative where fragmented bodies attempt to reconstitute themselves. 

The action unfolds as a listening ritual: a gesture of “re-membering” dismembered bodies and confronting the silences of colonial archives. 

Inspired by the radical method of Marlene NourbeSe Philip, the performance becomes a living archive where the boundaries between the living and the dead, the human and the more-than-human, dissolve. A space of vibration and memory where sound becomes testimony and threshold.
